ORIGIN

This 1991 BMW 325iX was sold new at Peterson Motor Company of Boise, Idaho and spent time in Hawaii before being acquired by the seller from Oregon in 2013. Power is sent from a 2.5L M20 inline-six to all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission, and modifications include a MagnaFlow exhaust, upgraded ignition wiring, a performance chip, Bilstein shocks, aftermarket wheels, and “smiley” headlights. The seller has added approximately 6k of the car’s 142k indicated miles over a 5-year ownership, during which service included replacement of the timing belt and water pump in 2014 as well as suspension and brake work in 2016. This all-wheel drive E30 sedan is offered at no reserve with recent records, stock wheels, a clean Carfax, and a clear Oregon title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Sterling Silver Metallic paint, the condition of which is shown in the gallery below. Clear coat failure is noted on the roof and body-colored wheel arches along with a number of scratches and other blemishes. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage. Euro-style “smiley” headlamps from Depo have been installed, and the antenna was replaced with a rubber plug.

949 Racing wheels measure 15″x8” and wear a set of 225/45 Hankook tires that have reportedly seen less than 1,500 miles of use. Factory 15” basketweave wheels with all-season tires are included in the sale. A Pelican Parts Stage 3 suspension kit was installed in 2016 by Castro Motorsports of North Hollywood, California, with parts including new Bilstein dampers, springs, mounts, sway bar links, and control arm bushings. Fresh brake rotors and pads were also fitted.

Heated grey leather “comfort” seats show splits and wear, and rips are noted in the driver-side door panel. A Kenwood audio controller from a previously-installed CD changer is mounted below the climate controls. The passenger seat track adjustment is not functional per the seller, who also notes that the volume knob on the factory cassette stereo is loose.

Approximately 142k miles are shown on the odometer, about 6k of which were added by the seller. The air conditioning system remains set up for older R12 refrigerant and does not blow cold according to the seller. The overhead check panel is said to show a faults in the brake light and the brake lining light is illuminated on the dash, though both are described as functional.

The 2.5L M20 inline-six sends power to all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission and viscous transfer case. The timing belt and water pump were replaced in 2014, and a new valve cover gasket was installed in 2016. The alternator and O2 sensor have been personally replaced by the seller, and an oil change was performed last year. Modifications under previous ownership include a MagnaFlow exhaust, upgraded ignition wiring, and a performance chip.

The Carfax report lists no issues and shows history in Idaho, Hawaii, Oregon, and California. The seller has moved across the country, and the sale will be handled by his family in Oregon. A driving video and jack test are viewable below.
